The awards were granted pursuant to separate Award Agreements entered into between Thruvision Group plc and each Executive Director noted in the table above.
Each award (regardless of whether it was granted as an EMI award or a non-tax advantaged award) will ordinarily become exercisable on the third anniversary of grant, subject to the grantee's continued service with the Thruvision group and will remain exercisable at any point up until the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.
In normal circumstances the Performance Conditions on which the vesting of the awards would depend, would be set on the date of award. However, given the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been agreed that the Performance Conditions will be agreed later this year and no later than 31 December 2020, once the impact of the pandemic on the trading performance of the Company is better understood.
In total 2,310,000 awards were made over ordinary shares of 1 pence in Thruvision Group plc to 12 employees on 15 June 2020.
